End Stage Renal Disease patients have a high risk of having heart disease. In fact, most people with kidney disease do not die of kidney failure, however, they die of heart disease. Why? Because, in addition to kidney disease, they usually have one or more of the following health risks:

1. High blood pressure

High blood pressure causes arteries to thicken and narrow, making it easier to form clots, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. It also causes thickening and enlargement of the heart.

2. Diabetes

Diabetes, especially uncontrolled diabetes, leads to more fatty deposits in arteries. These can form a clot, leading to a heart attack or stroke.

3. Anemia

Anemia reduces the flow of oxygen throughout your body, which forces your heart to work harder. As a result, your heart begins to thicken and enlarge, which can lead to heart failure or death. To treat anemia, you may need to take iron supplements and a medicine called ESA (erythropoiesis-stimulating agents). These will help your body make red blood cells, which helps increase the flow of oxygen.

4. Abnormal cholesterol

Abnormal cholesterol causes fatty deposits to form in your arteries, making it easier to form clots which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

5. Bone and mineral disease

Bone and mineral disease causes your arteries to stiffen and narrow from absorbing extra calcium and phosphorus that's being shed from your bones. This reduces blood flow to your heart, which can lead to a heart attack and death.
